According to an investigation by Le Figaro, at least twelve members of the presidential cabinet have left the Elysée Palace since the dissolution of the Assembly. The secretary general, Alexis Kohler, in office since 2017, remains faithful to the post. A wave of departures is a sign of a break within Macronie.
According to a survey published this Tuesday, November 19 by Le Figaroadvisors to the Élysée are becoming increasingly rare. Retirement or voluntary, announced or future, in total there are a dozen people close to Emmanuel Macron who are listed by the newspaper. A wave of departures which translates “the impression that a page is being turned in the corridors of the Presidency of the Republic”.
During the next wave of departures, a historic figure in the presidential residence, Patrick Strzoda, who served as chief of staff between 2017 and 2023, will bid farewell to the Macronie teams. A goodbye, symbol of a break within the presidential camp turned upside down by the European and legislative elections, then the dissolution of the National Assembly and finally, the announcement of the Barnier government. Indeed, since the appointment of the Prime Minister last September, “a distance from Matignon” was operated by Emmanuel Macron and his collaborators, underlines the daily.
Some leave, Kohler stays
“Since the Élysée is moving away from the conduct of national public policies, it is logical that advisors whose main function was to wish to exercise elsewhere”admits David Amiel, EPR deputy and former advisor to Emmanuel Macron. Thus, the political differences of the President and his Prime Minister seem to be one of the main reasons for the departure of the Élysée advisors. But the Élysée does not confirm this hypothesis, instead justifying “natural movements” Who “were shifted due to the dissolution”.
Despite the numerous departures, Alexis Kohler, in office since Emmanuel Macron's first mandate, is still there. The Secretary General of the Élysée was however announced his departure in the columns of Mondebut for now it continues to “mix in almost all areas”reports Le Figaro. The newspaper adds that the senior civil servant could, if he chooses to stay until 2027, beat the record for longevity in the post, held until now by the “Mitterrandian” Jean-Louis Bianco.
